MIT Device Extracts Water from Air

MIT Device Extracts Water from Air
Mar-24-18
An innovative water extraction system from MIT can harvest drinking water from extremely arid air.

The device, an evolution of the team’s earlier proof-of-concept, is able to harvest water from desert air via its metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), which have a high surface area. According to the team, the newly improved solar-powered device can extract potable water from air with relative humidity levels as low as ten percent, yielding up to one-quarter liter of water per kilogram of MOF.

Nasa in the 70,s did a water from air project in a New York park.
Using a similar principle, interestingly enough it did not pick up any airborne lead contaminates that was prevalent in the fuel of the day. This was reported in the POPULAR SCIENCE MAGAZINE.
Taken further to today a fully autonomus unit can be built independant of human attachment, All components readily available.

How is the protein from air project going? A combined prototype might feed endangered animals.
